Flexivue Micro-Lens (Presbia)
Intracorneal Inlays for
Presbyopia
15 µm
• The Lens is
implanted into the
corneal stroma of
the non-dominant
eye, inside a
pocket created
using femtosecond
laser

No Refractive
Power
Refractive Power:
+1,25D to +3,50D
1,8 mm
Figure 1: The Flexivue Microlens™ is a transparent, hydrophilic disc with 3 mm diameter and
approximately 15 μm edge thickness. The central 1,8 mm diameter of the disc is plano and the
peripheral zone has an add power. The base power available range from +1,25 D to +3,50 D in 0,25
D increments. At the center of the disc there is a hole of 0,5mm diameter that permits the transfer of
oxygen and nutrients of the cornea through the lens.

Intracorneal Inlays - During Far
Vision
Figure 2: During far vision the rays pass through the central zone of the implant (blue
line) and through the free peripheral corneal tissue (interrupted blue line) without the
Lens add refractive effect and will be sharply focused on the retina, whereas the rays
which pass through the refractive peripheral zone (red line) will be focused in front of the
retina.

Intracorneal Inlays - During Near
Vision
Figure 3: During near vision the rays pass through the central zone of the
Lens (blue line) will be out of focus behind the retina and the rays passing
through the peripheral clear cornea will be blocked by the pupil (interrupted
blue lines). The rays passing through the peripheral refractive zone (red lines)
will be focus on the retina.
